It seems a bit of a pity that K&W are suing Tatler. I didn’t think the article said anything that terrible about anyone that hasn’t been said before, even if some of what it said didn’t ring true. (admittedly I only read it once a few days ago). Yes some people still haven’t got over Prince William marrying ‘a commoner’
but that’s really their problem, and once Kate is Queen those same people will all be falling over themselves to ingratiate with her. Suing seems unusually thin-skinned or short termist and risking opening tins of worms.
With way bigger and more important things going on in the world, I’d have thought W&K or Kate, whoever is driving this, would just want to just give their public rebuttal statement which they’ve already done, and then ignore and move on.
For example, W&K keeping up the good relationship with H&M in LA over time will speak for itself on that topic.
I wondered if the fact that the Tatler article is from Anna Pasternak who also wrote a book highlighting Diana’s relationship with James Hewitt has made them feel worse ? Or if it’s because it’s written in Tatler which is read by their circle? It was a snobby article but.. it’s in Tatler magazine, which is completely built on snobby concepts like ‘high society’. And if snobbery were illegal then a lot of people would have been locked up a long time ago...
Or.. please adjust your tinfoil hat.. is there a more personal agenda playing in to this? Is a factor in this legal action part of the rift-healing, a kind of ‘solidarity’ effort with M&H who rail against the media? Have H&M’s complaints against the media drawn a helpful line in the sand for Kate to use? or is it that Kate’s never explaining or complaining over years of terrible personal press has made Meghan look quite thin-skinned, so Kate doing this puts all the Fab Four in the same frame? I feel like suing on this one maybe brings more attention to this article than it seems to deserve.
